Quiz Question
No one seems to be able to answer this quiz question for me. Please help.
Much in evidence in the news these days who, or what, derive their name from the Persian word for students? Thank you. I have told friends about you site.

Thanks for telling friends about the site!

Not sure I understand the question. The Persian words for student are dAnesh Amuz - دانش آموز - or dAnesh ju - دانش جو -  or mohsel محصل.  I think the quiz is asking about the word - tAleb - طالب - which I think has Arabic roots and refers more usually to a seminary student, a seeker.  tAleb, plural is tAlebAn -  in the news more usually as Taliban -  طالبان

Anyone else have insight? 

Hey, محصل seems related to تحصيل - of course.  Studies.
